Outline and Purpose of the Course This course discusses ultimate behavior of structural members and seismic devices used in steel structures, fundamental theories and engineering methodologies to achieve mechanical properties which they should possess; and explains basic and applied theories of seismic design of steel frame structures.
Course Goals To understand the ultimate behaviors and mechanical properties of steel members, and learn the precautions in design and the concept of design equations.
To understand the differences between plastic design and plastic analysis, and learn basic and applied seismic design that does not rely too much on computer numerical calculations.
Schedule and Contents Elasto-plastic behavior and design of steel frame structures
The 1st class: Elasto-plastic behavior of steel members
The 2nd class: Plastic analysis of one-story frames
The 3rd class: Plastic collapse load of multi-story frames
The 4th class: Plastic design of multi-story frames
The 5th class: Plastic collapse load of beam-hinging type 3D frames with eccentricity
The 6th class: Plastic design of steel frames with buckling-restrained braces
The 7th class: Plastic design of steel frames with ordinary braces

Ultimate behavior and design of steel members
The 8th class: Flexural buckling of compression members
The 9th class: Inelastic flexural buckling and behavior after flexural buckling
The 10th class: Buckling restraint and design of buckling-restained brace
The 11th class: Lateral-torsional buckling
The 12th class: Ultimate behavior of flexural members

The 14th class: Local buckling of steel plates

Feedback of course
The 15th class: Summaries and conclusions
Evaluation Methods and Policy Evaluation will be based on the scores of four times of reports (25 points per a report).
Course Requirements Would be preferable to have completed Mechanics of Building Structures, Steel Construction and Earthquake Resistant Structures.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) To instruct as appropriate.
